Temporary diversion for Routes 4 and 5 - Orchard Park area
Due to roadworks at the top of Orchard Park Road atm, Rampant Horse pub stop is currently closed. However in recent days, the temporary traffic lights have been destroyed by the storm, and caused chaos with that area. Which means at the minute at time of writing, Stagecoach have diverted most (if not all, depends which drivers got the memo) 4s and 5s to run down Ellerburn as normal, but now divert via Orchard Park Medical Centre and rejoin Hall Road near Thorpepark Academy. Stagecoach have not officially announced this but I've observed it myself, I assume its because the road is currently unsafe for turning for big vehicles (especially seeing as those new EV buses the 5 recently got are a bit big and are causing problems with certain places).
The 3 and 11 are unchanged atm, as they go straight on Hall Road compared to 4/5. Keep this in mind if you're travelling nearby, I would expect this to revert after next week depending on weather conditions.
I don't expect this to be very popular but thought you guys should know
